What should you expect?

Now that your doctor has prescribed an infusion therapy, you may have several questions about what to expect.

Being prepared and knowing what to expect can help you feel comfortable with the infusion experience. If you have any questions that aren't covered here, speak with your doctor or contact your infusion center.

Please contact your doctor or the infusion center regarding specific instructions on preparing for your infusion, especially eating or drinking before or during your infusion. Depending on the time and duration of your infusion, you may be directed to eat before you arrive at your infusion location. Your center may provide light snacks and beverages for you, or you can bring your own. You may also have to fast, so make sure to speak with your doctor.

Your doctor will be involved with your treatment, but may or may not be physically present at your appointment, depending on where your infusion is being administered. Your infusion is administered by a licensed healthcare professional. If you are going somewhere other than your doctor's office, they will be in communication with the center.

As always, see your regular doctor for all your usual check-ins or appointments not involving infusion administration.

Many locations offer televisions and magazines to help pass the time. Here are some ideas you may also want to consider:

Use the time to relax or take a nap

Listen to music on your phone or tablet (be sure to bring headphones)

Watch a movie or show on your tablet or laptop (be sure to bring headphones)

Catch up on some reading

Do a crossword puzzle, word search, etc.

Work on your laptop—many infusion centers offer free Wi-Fi access
